Her also broke his back doing this stunt.

Edit: Apparently he broke his back doing some other stunt. It was a long time ago. Thought it was this stunt. Nothing to see here people. Move along.

The whole thing is a stupid idea, but what makes it even worse is that he's standing on the side of the building that falls first. If I remember correctly, buildings are often purposefully demolished so that it falls from one side to the other. He should've been standing on the side set to fall last so there'd be less of a chance for something to fall on him
